Oh damn, that sucks.  Nice guy. 
I think I passed this wreck on the way to work yesterday and it looked bad.

I'm sorry, it was his dad who passed away. Words cannot express what a loss this is. You can go to europasports.com to leave a message for his family.

Wow, he looks like a serious powerlifter/bodybuilder in those pics. Did he compete?

Europa is my family, we lost a brother..... Every sales rep at Europa are equal but everyone still looks up to someone...or even multiple people.....Lin was in everyone's top 3....and by far the most genuine.....everyone always says, "how ya doing? Or "what's going on" ....difference is, Lin meant it....he really wanted to know...he barley talk about himself if ever but wanted to know all the good in others...never was he to busy to listen to what you had to say...he trained like know other....Lin was a true Juggernaut in the gym...the gym gods worshipped him.

...he also never ran out of smiles.....he had one for everyone no matter what the day had done to him

He was the blueprint of what Eric and Jeff wanted when starting Europa........we are all just copies....he was the original.

Linny Mac, we are all loved you and are going to miss you! See you on the other side.

Based upon what people are saying about him, he seemed like a genuine good guy with a lot of integrity. A damn shame he died so young.

I wish these men and their families well.

Thank god it had nothing to do with Steroids



Let's spin this, how can we blame his death on Steroids?

In some cases it may be related to drug use/lifestyle, etc. Sometimes a guy just gets sick or gets in an accident. Most of the bodybuilder deaths here in Ga, do appear to have some link to drug use/lifestyle, but with an autopsy, who can say for sure. I think it sad to see a regualr trickle of guys my age or younger that pass away. I never said it always had a drug relation, just that it was sad.
